My captains meeting....
"Captains Shake hands and introduce yourself"
I intro myself and my P.
I determine who the "speaking captains" are and let them know they can come to us during the game with any questions.
I ask the Captains: "Any questions?"
I ask my partner: "P you got anything?"
"Shake hands and have a great ball game"
Thats it. They arent listening anyway. I've worked as the U with guys who go into this long speech about the black line all the way around is out of bounds, if we blow the whistle, stop play, if the ball hits anything hanging from the ceiling its OOB, we're going to enforce this or that etc etc etc. On a good day you'll even hear "You're here to learn and this is an extension of your learning experience....Blah Blah Blah. Yadda Yadda Yadda.
Hello!!!....no one is listening except your partner. I've been told by more than one OLD DAWG that its ceremonial.
Get in, shake hands, get out. So thats what I do.
